Big day!

Happy 18 months to our baby girl! I cannot believe she is a year and a half already! How does life happen so fast? And even faster when you have children. I am so in love with Violet it's crazy. I am so proud of her and can't keep up with how smart, funny, cute, loving, happy, kind, and sweet she is. She is doing so much right now. I have forgotten so much already because I am terrible at writing stuff down. She is talking so much! She can say just about anything we ask her to say. She said her abc's just two days ago for the first time. She legitimately mimicked every letter we said, with the exception of "w" that was a little bit hard for her but she still tried! She says pee pee and I run her to the potty so she can start getting that concept down. But she knows when she's peeing and tells me! She loves blueberries, cheese, meat, corn, beans, rice, apples, chicken nuggets with ketchup, potatoes, sunflower seeds, pickles, peanuts, blackberries, hummus... And a lot more but I can't remember right now. She loves her cousins more than anything. She will be cranky or tired and then when we see her cousins she snaps out of it and will play forgetting everything! She loves to give kisses and hugs. She says hi to everyone. She will say yes or no when I ask her a question and understands almost everything I ask her. She loves to throw things away in the trash can. She loves to bake and cook. If the mixer, blender, or dishwasher is on she starts dancing as if it's a beat to her life! She loves to get a diaper and wipes for me, but hates to get her diaper changed! She comes from a place of yes! She constantly says yes to anything I ask her. Even if I ask her if she wants to take a nap, she says yes and then immediately realizes what she did and says, "no!" Hahaha she loves jesse so much it is so cute and melts me every single day. She points to the door anytime she hears a noise asking, "daddy?" She loves to dance and dances 95% of the day. She says most peoples names if they are reasonably easy. She is facing frontward in the car now, don't judge me! We have a two door car and it's way too hard having her rear facing still! She is in the 93% for height and 70% for weight. She has grown so much in the past few months. She is in 18month clothes, is in 24 month and 2t clothes! She is such a big girl. Her shoe size is 6 1/2 - 7. I have so many pictures from this year that I haven't posted anywhere so here goes a bunch of pictures! Happy 18 months Violet Louise, I love you always.
